Fog Your Life - The innovative 3-component system from Hookain

With their intense Hookain Shisha Tobacco, Hookain has become one of the most popular brands in our shop, achieving great success since their launch in 2019. They quickly responded to several regulations from the Bundestag, offering alternatives that legally circumvent the TPD2 norm and the 25g rule. Based on their experience with Fog Your Law and the government-imposed taxation of all tobacco production, Hookain has revised their strategy for the Fog Your Life system and is now reintroducing it as a 3-component solution. This allows customers to continue enjoying TPD2-free flavors without breaking the bank.

How does the new Fog Your Life 3-component system work?

With their experience from Fog Your Law and the taxation of all tobacco production components, Hookain has adapted their strategy and re-released Fog Your Life.
Previously, with Fog Your Life, you would purchase a molasses and a "Base" tobacco and simply mix them together to continue enjoying flavors that did not comply with the TPD2 norm. Since all tobacco production components now need to be taxed, the old FYL system would have become quite expensive for the end customer. Therefore, the new Fog Your Life 3-component system works similarly to the Fog Your Law system. Specifically, the glycerin portion is omitted. Only the pure flavors and the base tobacco are sold by the producer, and the customer must purchase the glycerin separately. This significantly reduces the price level compared to what is currently typical.

Fog Your Life Guide - How to properly mix your hookah tobacco!

To ensure your tobacco tastes just the way it should, you need to follow the steps below.


Step 1: What do you need for your Fog Your Life hookah tobacco?

If you've never mixed a dry base before, it might seem a little complicated, but don't worry, preparing an FYL tobacco for your hookah is really simple.

First, you'll need 70g of base tobacco, which is now sold in 15g bags in a 3-pack bundle. There is the Hookain Base, a light and sweet Virginia tobacco, and the Nature Base, a heavily processed but relatively low-nicotine Burley tobacco that still provides a delicious spiciness and a nice sweetness.

In addition to the Hookain Base, you'll need a Fog Your Life aroma shot and 100g of glycerin. The choice of flavor for the shot is up to you. We can say that we've liked all of the currently available FYL flavors so far. All in all, you'll end up with approximately 195g of finished hookah tobacco with the base tobacco, aroma shot, and glycerin.

Besides the ingredients, you'll need a can suitable for 200g of hookah tobacco and a tobacco fork to mix the ingredients.

Mixing the aroma shot and 100g glycerin

First, open the aroma shot and add 100g of glycerin to the aroma in the bottle. Then close the bottle and shake it for 90 seconds as vigorously as you can.

Step 2: Preparing the base

Open the can you want to use for mixing and fill it with 70g of your favorite Hookain base tobacco. Whether you use the base as-is or mix the varieties is entirely up to you.

Step 3: Combine the components

Now simply pour the molasses from the bottle into the can with the tobacco. Make circular movements to ensure the molasses is evenly distributed in the can.

Step 4: Stir the mixture of tobacco and molasses

To ensure the components are 100% mixed, you need to stir the mixture thoroughly after combining them. You can use a hookah stirrer for this. After about 3-5 minutes of stirring, you're done with the mixing process.

Step 5: Waiting

While Hookain and Fog Your Life suggest a shorter waiting time, based on our experience, we recommend waiting at least 3 hours for the regular base and at least 24 hours for the Nature Base.

Step 6: Enjoy your hookah!

After the waiting time, it's finally time to enjoy your hookah! If you like the tobacco, we recommend trying the other flavors as well. We can wholeheartedly recommend this tobacco!

Attention! Tax-related specifics when mixing Fog Your Law & Glycerin

When mixing 2-component hookah tobacco like Fog Your Law with glycerin, there are unfortunately a few inconvenient details. Because: By mixing the pipe tobacco with glycerin, the end consumer becomes the manufacturer of hookah tobacco and must declare this to the responsible customs office. Why is this the case?

  • Hookah tobacco is taxed higher than pipe tobacco.
  • If you, as a consumer, decide to mix the purchased pipe tobacco with glycerin, it must immediately be re-taxed.
  • If you don’t do this, it is considered tax evasion, which, if discovered by the authorities, can lead to criminal investigation and penalties.

Moreover, places where goods subject to excise duty are produced or stored must be officially approved. Therefore, the process of private manufacturing can also be prosecuted as an administrative offense.
